Harris Bugg Studio

Harris Bugg Studio is a values-driven, award-winning landscape design practice led by Charlotte Harris and Hugo Bugg. We work on a range of projects across the UK and Europe, including high-end residential, public, historic and commercial spaces. These are often in protected landscapes, requiring a careful and considered approach to design and stewardship. Understanding the spirit of the place is central to our approach, using vernacular materials, nearby nurseries and local craftspeople, so that a garden speaks of and is connected to its broader setting. The studio has won five Gold medals, two Silver Gilts and a Best in Show at RHS shows – including three Gold medals at Chelsea, a BALI award, and a Landscape Institute award. We are consistently listed as one of Country Life Magazine’s ‘Best Garden and Landscape Design Practices in Britain’ and Architectural Digest describes the spaces we make as “…soulful gardens that are rich with meaning, mystery, and relevance”. We are also proud to be one of the House & Garden Top 50, who describe us as “intuitive, enthusiastic and extremely hard-working”. At Harris Bugg Studio we are committed to prioritising the creativity and quality of our design work with a studio culture that is progressive and reciprocal, and one that is respectful and caring of the planet. We have recently formalised this cultural approach in our The Common Good manifesto. “The Common Good formalises much of what has been evolving at Harris Bugg Studio since its inception almost 5 years ago. It reflects that we are a collective, looking out for one other, and that we are valued, appreciated and encouraged to grow. It provides a strong sense of involvement in how the practice is run for everyone, no matter what stage their career is at, and emphasises the sense of shared and mutual responsibility.” Will Johnson, CMLI Landscape Architect, Harris Bugg Studio
